LEVLING ATTACHMENT FOR TABLES,

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 299,651, dated June 3, 1884.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GUsrAv LADIscH, a subject of the King of- Prussia-Germany, residing at the city of Stettin, in the Kingdom of Prussia, Germany, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Leveling Attachments for Tables and other Furniture, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to an improved leveling attachment to the legs of tables, chairs, and other pieces of furniture, whereby the length of the same can be adj usted accurately to nnevenness ofthe door, so that the annoying shaking of the tables, chairs, Src., maybe avoided.

` The invention consists of a socket attached to the legs of a table, chair, or other piece of furniture, said socket guiding a verticallysliding bolt serrated at one side, which bolt is locked, after adjustment in the socket, by the toothed head of a spring-actuated pin, as will appear more fully hereinafter.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective View of a table with my improved attachment. Figs. 2 and 3 are respectively 'a vertical central section and a horizontal section of the attachment as applied to square legs.

` tical central section and a horizontal -section of the attachment as applied to a round leg. Figs. 6 and 7 are detail sections of a modied form of the attachment; and Fig.- 8 is a seel tional side view of the leveling-boltwith a Application filed April 12,1884.

Figs. 4 and 5 are aver-v (No model.)

iiat portion. A serrated head, e, of a horizontally-guided pin, f, is pressed by a spiral or other spring, g, against the serrated side of the slide-bolt b. .The outer end of the pin f -is provided withvan enlargement or button -loor be uneven, it is simply necessary to Withdraw the pin f of the attachment of that leg which does not fully rest on the iioor,whereby the slide-bolt b is dropped down from the socket until it rests on the floor, after which it is locked by the head e of the pin f. The slide-bolt b may be of round or other crosssection, and provided with a caster, as shown in Fig. 8, or the bolt b may be provided with a cup-shaped enlargement, t', attached thereto, as shown in Fig. 6.

Having thusdescribed myinvention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination of the leg A of a table or other piece of furniture, a socket, a, attached tothe leg, a slide-bolt, b, guided vertically in said socket and provided with serrations at one side, and a horizontally-guided and springactuated pin, f, having a toothed head, e, in-

`terlocking with the serrated bolt, substan- GUSTAV -LADISCIL Witnesses:
